"Grandpa, you're welcome. My sister asked me for help, so I had to come in person. She usually doesn't ask me for help."
Zhou Yizhou was very humble and asked the four elderly people to relax.
When we talked about the surname issue, we learned that Zhou Yizhou's ancestors were from Zhejiang Province, so we gave up.
Zhou Xiang put the two tables together and briefly explained his development plan for Zhoujia Village. Finally, he said to Zhou Yizhou, "If I can't find a market for my watermelons, I'll look for you!"
"Don't worry, little sister! Even if we grow enough watermelons, we won't be able to sell them, especially during the Chinese New Year. Starting now will be just in time for the New Year."
The four elderly people and Zhou Yidong finally felt relieved. Now that they had a sales channel, they no longer had to worry.
Among the five masters, two are greenhouse builders, two are melon farmers, and one is a vegetable farmer.
Zhou Xiang didn't need to say anything to the master of the greenhouse, but he did say a few words to the melon farmers and vegetable farmers.
"Master melon farmers and master vegetable farmers, what about you! You are mainly responsible for technical guidance. Only those who agree here can enter the greenhouse to learn the technology. No matter how much money other villagers give you, you are not allowed to teach them. Otherwise, it will be a mess.
Vegetable farming techniques are simpler and can be understood with just a few words, but watermelon farming requires a long time to learn, so your wages will be different, I want to make this clear upfront."
The three masters nodded. "We understand. Master Zhou has already said that this place cannot follow his original standards. We won't say much. Just give it as you see fit. Food and lodging are provided."
"Yeah! After all, you guys are technical instructors. A melon farmer gets 50 per month with room and board, and a vegetable farmer gets 40 per month with room and board. That's more than my parents' salary, haha."
"Okay, it's better than sitting idle at home."
The three masters all nodded in agreement, but the people in Zhoujia Village breathed a sigh of relief. Such a high salary! But Zhou Xiang had already said it, so they couldn't say more.
The food was served, the topic ended, and everyone started to clink glasses and chat, which lasted until after ten o'clock.
The accommodation has been arranged, and my third uncle is leading people to make the arrangements with a flashlight.
Zhou Yizhou lived in his great-grandfather's house. His aunt had already changed all the bedding on his bed, including the mat, which was new and was bought from other people's homes.
After everyone was arranged, the grandfather asked Zhou Xiang if the salary was too high.
"Grandpa, if you think the salary is too high, you should hurry up and get them to learn the skills. We're not hiring them year-round. It's only one season, and it'll be almost over before the Spring Festival. Five months, right? You should hurry up and arrange for those with flexible minds to learn. Then, won't those who learn become technical instructors?
If you pay too little, can others teach you all the skills? They think it’s not worth it.”
"Yes, it's like you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Alright! We have to find someone who's good at getting information out of him and get all his wealth out of him."
"Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. I'll go get the money tomorrow and then leave. You guys can figure it out on your own!"
"Okay, okay! I understand! I can't let your studies get in the way."
Zhou wanted to sleep with his aunt, and he didn't have to worry about where his father slept.
At night, I entered the space and took out the passbook. There was still 10,000 yuan on it, which should be enough.
The three masters' salary for five months is 700 yuan, plus food, which is 1000 yuan in total. They don't need to pay for the watermelon seeds for the time being, but it will be counted as their capital in the future, after all, they have to ask me for seeds every year.
My own space has become a seed supply station. I don’t know why when I leave seeds outside, the taste returns to its original state. Is it true that only seeds cultivated in space can have the effect of type 1 fruit?
The peach tree in my yard seems to be a little less tasty this year.
There are 9,000 yuan left, which is enough to build several greenhouses. Let grandpa and others arrange it!
After breakfast the next day, Zhou Xiang put on his backpack and asked Zhou Yizhou to drive him to get the money.
Zhou Yizhou gave all the instructions to the five masters before leaving with peace of mind.
We arrived by boat yesterday after dark. This morning, a jeep appeared in the village, immediately attracting many adults and children to visit.
Zhou Yizhou chased away the child who was climbing by the car door, and Zhou Xiang pulled the door open and sat in.
"Fifth Aunt, are you leaving?"
Tiedan looked at Zhou Xiang reluctantly.
"I went out for a while and came back. I left after I came back."
"Ah? We still have to go."
"Yes, I don't live here anymore. I have to go back to school."
"oh!"
The car stopped at the Liuzhen Savings Bank. Zhou wanted to go in and ask. He was told that he could withdraw money, but there wasn't that much money.
"Take out as much as you can, I need it urgently."
"good."
Finally, he withdrew 4,000 yuan, drove to the market town, and withdrew 5,000 yuan.
Zhou Xiang went home for a walk and his backpack became heavy.
The Zhou family was having breakfast. Zhou Niao thought his sister had gone home, but she was about to go out.
"I'll go home for lunch, just focus on your studies!"
"good!"
Zhou Niao's mood improved only after hearing his sister say that she would come back for lunch.
When he returned to Zhoujia Village, it was already past nine o'clock. Zhou wanted to match the cash in the space and took out 10,000 yuan in cash.
If I didn't need to pretend, if Zhou Yizhou hadn't been with me, I definitely wouldn't have needed to withdraw the money.
Four elderly people and three cousins are all waiting for money to buy materials.
"Here's ten thousand yuan. These are improved seeds. If you buy them from the Agricultural Bureau, they're fifty cents a seed. Listen carefully, one seed. Don't be surprised now. Once you grow watermelons and sell them, you won't think this price is ridiculous.
Here are ten jin, one jin is equivalent to four thousand seeds. Please note the number first. Mr. Zhou is willing to sell you the first batch of seeds on credit.
Don't save the seeds, because they will revert back to their original form. Others have already experimented with it, so don't waste time and money experimenting again. Whenever you need it, just contact me in the market town and I'll ask Mr. Zhou to buy it for you.
You can use the vegetable seeds you have saved at home and buy them in the village."
Everyone in the room was stunned. They were selling seeds by the grain? And they were only 50 cents a grain?
The five masters also learned the prices for the first time. They heard that watermelons were sold for two yuan per catty last year. With Mr. Zhou's care, this village will definitely develop in the future.
Zhou Xiang and his father left in Zhou Yizhou's car.
Before leaving, he gave Tiedan a tin frog that he had asked for from his elder brother.
Tiedan chased the car all the way to the village entrance. Fifth Aunt left. Tiedan looked at the tin frog in his hand. Fifth Aunt said that if the spring was wound up fully, the frog would be able to jump.
This is not what I want, but what do I want?
What can I do if I catch up with Fifth Aunt?
Erya finally caught up with him, "Tiedan, let's go back to the village!"
"good!"
After taking another look at the dusty distance, Tiedan turned around and went back to the village. He wanted to follow the example of Fifth Aunt and go out to far away places!
Ye Xiu got up early and went to her sister's house with the money. She had to get things done, not only for Zhou Xiang and herself, but also for her sister.
